Sat Nav/ ICE Question

[TVR8]

I've been thinking of a run to the Alps and want to know if anyone uses Sat Nav. If so how do you hear it? I have a decent stereo and it is inaudible above 60 mph with the roof in it's normal down position.

I can hear my stereo with the roof down at the legal limit (or there abouts). Not a big system, 60w amp feeding a couple of 6x9 rockford fosgates in the rear and the fronts are driven off the head unit. So I guess I'm saying either get an amp, or a map.

Get one with a large screen (Eg Pioneer AVIC-X1) that way you can see what you need to do easily even if you can't hear it. Needless to say it turns down the stereo when it speaks which also helps in a noisy car.

Not seen any that lift the throttle yet, would be a good idea on these cars

Simple TomTomOne for me. Got Tony Blair telling which way to turn

Never had much issue with volume as on motorways you get a decent time before you need to leave so I just watch the direction marker whilst at town speeds I can hear the verbals quite easily.

Also, I get the traffic updates through the mobile with no problems.
